Good luck with the Beeches. Here in Waverley they are being wiped out by
an introduced beetle, the beech leaf-mining weevil (Orchestes fagi)
<https://www.invasiveinsects.ca/blmw/blmw.html>. Many of our trees have
been defoliated year after year and are now dead.

On one road I passed a wood lot. A big lot, maybe 100 ha as a

growing up

in small hardwood. Mostly birch and popular about 3 - 4 m in

<br>
the lot were small beech trees - about 1 m in height. Easy to
pick out as last years leaves were

still attached.

It was too cold and wet to investigate further but certainly an
interesting lot.
<br>
Most be some special conditions to promote the beech regrowth.

Enjoy the cold of the early spring.
